Rooting big and deep rapidly: the ecological roots of pine species distribution in southern Europe
(Springer Verlag, 2018-10-09)
Root properties can influence plant drought resistance, and consequently plant species distribution. Root structure strongly varies across biomes partly as a result of phylogeny. However, whether the ...
Evaluation of Chestnut Susceptibility to Cryphonectria parasitica: Screening under Controlled Conditions
(MDPI, 2021-11-18)
Cryphonectria parasitica (Murrill) M.E. Barr (Sordariomycetes, Valsaceae) is the causal agent of chestnut blight. This disease is a major concern for chestnut cultivation in Europe. The fungus colonizes ...
Residues of Deltamethrin in Pine Needles and Pine Nuts of Catalonia (Spain)
(MDPI, 2023-12-12)
In recent years, recurrent droughts have weakened stone pine (Pinus pinea) forests and facilitated the emergence of harmful pests and diseases, including the Leptoglossus occidentalis. The production ...
Impacts of urbanization on insect herbivory and plant defences in oak trees
(Wiley, 2018-07-23)
Systematic comparisons of species interactions in urban versus rural environments can
improve our understanding of shifts in ecological processes due to urbanization. However,
such studies are relatively ...
Balance de una producción combinada: madera de nogal y avellana
(Sociedad Española de Ciencias Forestales, 2018-10-10)
Las plantaciones mixtas se presentan como una alternativa dirigida a mejorar el balance productivo-económicoambiental a través de una óptima compartimentación del hábitat con combinaciones de especies ...
Effects of insularity on insect leaf herbivory and chemical defences in a Mediterranean oak species
(Wiley, 2019-05-11)
Aim
Research on plant–herbivore interactions has shown that islands typically have low abundances and diversity of herbivores because of barriers to dispersal, isolation and reduced land area. Islands ...
Fine-root turnover rates of European forests revisited: an analysis of data from sequential coring and ingrowth cores
(Springer, 2012-07-08)
Background and Aims Forest trees directly contribute to
carbon cycling in forest soils through the turnover of their
fine roots. In this study we aimed to calculate root turnover rates of common ...
Variation in aquaporin and physiological responses among Pinus contorta families under different moisture conditions
(MDPI, 2019-01-06)
A population of eight open pollinated families of Pinus contorta was selected from
sites varying in precipitation regimes and elevation to examine the possible role of aquaporins
in adaptation to ...
